i have a .pl file.
i need to open a /run/auto.txt file for editing in a new window, so user can edit the file manually. You know if i was using vi editor, i would have vi /run/auto.txt and it will open auto.txt in a new window so i can edit and wq! when i am done.
Below is my code and i put some comments in the code so you can see where i want my file to be open.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- {

- else
- {
- # &runSysComm("$binDir/win $key");
- # This is where i want to open the auto.txt file in
- # new window so user can edit this file.
- # After editing is done, user will save and close the file
- # preferbally using wq!
